Finally got her Check-Up

Okay, so is it just me or does anyone else find it extremely hard to take their sewing machine in for it's annual cleaning. Most of the time, they tell you a week or two out. I can't go a week or two without my sewing machine. I find it hard to go 2 days without my sewing machine. That probably sounds pathetic but it is true.

So . . . On the eve of going into the hospital, I called up my local sewing machine repair shop and decided to check my little lady in. I figure, If I am going to be in the hospital for 3-4 days then maybe I should let my sewing machine get her turn at the "sewing machine hospital". And you can imagine how thrilled I was to find that she was ready for pick-up this morning!!! Yippee Skippee!! The tech said she was "very, very, very dirty", emphasizing the very's :) I figured as much, I do what I can to keep her clean but she was overdue, to say the least, for her little tune-up.

So now we are all home, me, the baby, and my other little baby :) Welcome home Burnadette the Bernette Bernina. I can't wait to try her out during nap time :)

I am the same way. The thought of spending one day without my sewing machine is painful. Recently it kinda "lit on fire" - AHHHHH It was in the shop for two weeks while they got in a new mainframe to replace the melted one! It was the longest saddest two weeks. I almost cried when I took it in to the shop and explained what happened. Glad you are all home. Have a great nap time!!!

You are amazing Melissa.Already have the new bub in a sleeping routine with the others. Great!!I also miss my machine when it goes for a service BUT I am lucky and now have my Mum's machine as a backup.
